I've thought about going vegetarian but I love my meat too much... :P I have the same problem with chocolate. I guess I'm a bit of a carnivore...

I don't think I would ever eat any of my birds- first, I could never hurt them and second, I doubt they would be no more than 3 chicken nuggets. :lol:

I'm vegetarian.
If I was not, I wouldn't mind eating chicken because of the fact that I have parrots. Sure, I would definitely MIND EATING CHICKEN, but having birds would not even be close to a reason of why I'd mind. :lol:

Chicken is my favourite meat. I could never be a vegetarian as I only like carrots and potatoes, and even then they have to go together, with some gravy xD

I always nickname my parrot chicken lickin ..
And she's tried chicken once and loved it (only a teeny tiny amount)

I feel guilty eating chicken since I've had her but I'm not going to give it up, its something I've always eaten and I like so I wont give it up
As a vet student I get pressured into to being a vegetarian a lot, but I dont see why caring for some animals means I cant eat others

I mostly eat fish, and occasionally I do eat chicken and turkey. I try to avoid red meat and pork as much as possible, because it often makes me feel sick, but sometimes I do allow myself some beef stew or something. I eat a LOT of veggies, grains, and fruits though. I feel conflicted about meat in general, so when I eat it I try not to think about what I'm eating, and I try my best to buy from local farms (yay for living in the middle of nowhere, lol). I don't feel particularly conflicted about chicken, it's not the same species as a parrot. I guess I feel the same amount of conflict no matter what meat I'm eating, lol.

If it comes when I call it I don't eat it. My Grandpa had to sell his cow that we rode on, because we grandkids couldn't stand the thought of eating "Spotty-cow". The free-range roosters were fair game.
